Summer has come to a crashing halt in the little town of Watertower, and the kids don’t want to be back in school. Suddenly, the classroom door burst open and there, wearing pajamas and cowboy boots, stands red-haired Gooney Bird Greene! “Hi! My name is Gooney Bird Greene—that’s like the color with a silent ‘e’ on the end and I like to be right smack in the middle of everything!” The class is never the same again. Gooney Bird speaks with confidence and dresses in outrageous outfits including Capri pants, blue knee socks, high-top basketball sneakers, and elbow-length black gloves. But most wondrous of all, she casts herself as the hero in the most improbable, outlandish stories: how she arrive from China on a flying carpet, how she got a lovely pair of diamond earrings at the local palace, how she directed a symphony orchestra while driving through the center of town, and how her beloved cat, Catman, was consumed by a cow! In blending funny and memorable characters with colorful details and her distinctive flair for suspense, Gooney Bird awakens the student’s dormant imaginations. They come to realize their lives are as unique as Gooney Bird’s and that they, too, can cast themselves as the heroes in their own true tales of discovery and adventure. This ensemble play is filled with imaginative improvisations and full cast dance numbers sure to delight audience and cast members alike.
